Statement on the Passing of Tiffany-Victoria Enriquez
On January 19, 2020, we suffered the tragic loss of one of our finest amateur athletes. Tiffany Enriquez was much more than just a National Physique Committee national level competitor who was on the verge of earning her IFBB Professional League status. She was a mother, grandmother, member of the armed forces reserve, and a member of local law enforcement. Very few people have the discipline to become a competitive bodybuilder. Even fewer are able to distinguish themselves as one of the best amateur competitors in the country.
Tiffany’s bodybuilding accomplishments include:
• 4th place in her bikini open class at the Stingrey Classic in Honolulu
• 1st and overall bikini masters at the 2017 Ikaika Classic in Honolulu
• 1st place in her bikini open class at the 2017 Olympia Amateur in Las Vegas
• 1st place in the Heroes division, 1st place masters, 2nd place open and awarded the Most Promising Athlete Award at the 2018 Pacific Islands Championships in Honolulu
• 2nd place in her bikini open class at the 2018 Vancouver Pro/Am
• 5th place in her bikini open class at the 2018 USA National Championships in Las Vegas
• 1st place in her bikini open class at the 2019 Muscle Contest Japan
Less than 1 percent of Americans serve in the armed forces. Even fewer serve in the armed forces while also serving in local law enforcement. And fewer still wear the additional hats of mother, grandmother, and national level bodybuilder. Tiffany accomplished this while making and maintaining friends and admirers throughout the Hawaii bodybuilding community.
Tiffany represents the best America has to offer. She sacrificed her life to protect us all. Tiffany: thank you for being one of those uncommon Americans who not only pursued excellence, but personified discipline, service, and sacrifice. We will miss you.
